AC Does not blow cold..HELP!!

Ok my wifes 1999 C280 stop blowing cold air yesterday. I bought recharge and hooked up and gauge read 55 so look like it has enough refrigerant. Note: the temp here in GA was at least 95 degrees today.
I ran two climate unit diagnostics and the following codes showed up:
#416 was only code on first error test which I understand is the "coolant circulation pump"
The second sensor test had the following:
01 91
02 104
03 75
05 131
06 197
07 135
08 116
09 41F
10 400
20 020
21 060
22 000
23 000
24 13.8
40 03
41 03
42 26
43 6-C
50 87'F
51 LO
52 50'F
54 OFF

Any guidance would be awesome...Thanks for everyones help.

Thanks Paul.
Ok another question. How much for switching out a compressor at local indy shop? Going to call a few tomorrow but just wanted to get an idea. I'm in the burbs of Atlanta. Lets assume just a switch out and vacuate and recharge is all thats needed.
O Reillys said they could get new compressor for $339. That sound right?

No idea on the cost for the MB part. The compressor in my Lexus finally died last week and the Lexus dealership wanted $2,100 including labor. So I would imagine MB would probably charge a similar price. Obviously I passed on that ludicrous price. That's one of the benefits of owning multiple cars. You can laugh at the dealer prices and get the work done elsewhere at your leisure. :-)

Seriously to answer you question, I'm sure you can get a generic compressor that will work in a MB for $400 to $500 dollars and the labor shouldn't be too much extra. You would likely be in and out in less than an hour. Just have the indy shop double check your AC line to make sure everything is good before swapping out the compressor.
